A/N: Aha! Sesshomaru and Rin story, hm? Oh, this isn't a pairing story… I don't really support these two together… but they make a good… y'know… "father 'n daughter" relationship, right? I dunno how else to say it… (ponders) Anyway, this first chapter starts out slow, but I promise next chapter it'll start movin' along, yo!

Disclaimer: Inuyasha doesn't belong to me! Rumiko Takahashi owns them all and I must praise her. (praises)

Enter My World
Chapter I

The Small World
"I believed in 'tainted food'."

The evening sky had this pleasant feeling that I haven't felt in the longest time. Was this some sort of sign that something was to happen? It just had to be. The awkward silence and the gentle brush of the wind were all too suspicious. We haven't encountered any demons as we journeyed through the deep forest and there was no scent of blood shed anywhere. In fact, now that I realized, we had taken a new path that led us far from civilization. It wasn't my biggest interest to head toward the path but I had a feeling I had to. Even though those feelings are still unknown to me, I would find out sooner or later.

The night sky had finally arrived. Our only source of light was the small bonfire Jakken had created with a flick of his staff. I watched Rin inch closer to me each time Jakken glared at her. The girl responded with a shy gesture and move closer to my side. These were strange actions coming from them indeed. They had not spoken to each other ever since we entered the path. They would always decide on some kind of bothersome subject to discuss for hours… but that finally ceased at last.

My eyes quickly scanned Rin and Jakken's small figures then to Ah and Un, who had fallen asleep a fair distance from the blazing bonfire. A low sigh escaped from my mouth, making the small girl look up at me. I quickly shifted my head away from her direction in hopes of finding something more interesting on the other side.

"Lord Sesshomaru?" Rin whispered softly.

I bowed my head in response. Without even looking I could tell that Jakken had his full attention on us. His response was nothing but a loud thud of his staff and a quick scurry to where Ah and Un were resting.

Rin finally continued. "Lord Sesshomaru, may I look for something to eat? We haven't eaten anything since this morning."

Hate to admit it, but she was absolutely correct. Our only food for the whole day was nothing but Inuyasha's human friends's food… called an 'Omelet'. We had an unexpected 'get together' and the human girl left behind some food for us in exchange for never having this brief moment together. I was fine with that, but I would never accept food that was close to my brother. I believed in 'tainted food'. Besides, I was not hungry at the time… and I wasn't now either.

"Jakken," I finally responded. "Assist Rin into the forest."

The small demon grunted at that. His arms folded in front as he shifted to my direction. The look on his face displayed a strong and firm look, however the slight tremble of his fingers weren't convincing me. Appeared to me that he wanted to stand up to me for once. Brave demon.

"I-I believe Rin will be a-alright on her o-own!" Jakken jerked around. "B-Besides! This place seems deserted a-and-" his voice began trailing off. His incoherent drivel was beginning to disgust me. Was he that angry at Rin? The demon cleared his throat and continued his last thoughts. "S-So, she'll be fine by herself!"

Rin's eyes suddenly darted at Jakken. "Master Jakken sure is being a big meanie," she addressed to me. Her attention then turned back to me with that smile on her face. "May I look for something to eat? I won't be too far."

My full attention was now to the girl. Normally, I would discuss it further about the dangers but the forest did show signs of peace at the moment. Before I answered, I surveyed the area one last time. Finally, I sighed and rested my arm on my thigh.

"Stay where I can see you."

"Yes, my lord!" With that said, Rin made her way into the forest.

I observed the bonfire's small sparks it began spewing out. For a moment, I thought about Rin and Jakken's attitudes toward each other. I know well that I had no business to know but if it were to continue, it could cause confrontations on future journeys. My eyes slowly found Jakken who was busy caressing his staff side to side. He quickly stopped once his big yellow eyes met mine.

"M-My Lord?" he hesitated. "Is something bothering you?"

I lifted my right knee up to my chest. "Why wouldn't you assist Rin when I told you to do so?" That wasn't exactly the question I wanted to say but it was similar.

Jakken grunted. "Because! Human girls can be quite annoying! I know she's been traveling with us for a while, but sometimes I want my own space too! So she decides to-"

"Enough, Jakken."

It was about having their own space? How irritating. Sooner or later they would eventually work it out in their own way. I had no business in their little affair whatsoever. Had a feeling it was something ridiculous.

Just then, a shrill cry echoed out of the forest. It was a cry for help… and it was definitely Rin. I immediately rose to my feet and stepped toward the forest with Jakken trembling by my side. We paused for a moment as another shrill cry soon followed the first. And at that, we dashed into the forest without hesitation.

Surprisingly, Rin had inadvertently entered deep into the forest. And I understood, what with the scent of fresh fruit that brought even the toughest of demons' attention. In fact, the more I proceeded, the more the scent got stronger… and disturbing.

Just ahead, I could just make out on Rin's small body lying on the ground. There were no signs of bloodshed… but there was another scent that was filling the forest. My body suddenly stopped as I dropped to one knee. I could barely make out on the new aura that was now filling the forest. Yellow… pollen-like spores were spreading from where Rin now lied. Every time I breathed, I inhaled the spores that were causing my body to surge in pain. No point in resisting… I felt my body shut down completely.

My eyes quickly shot open as I let out a loud gasp. I quickly lifted myself up, creating a searing pain that bolted throughout my body. Somehow, I felt different… like I lost all my strength somehow. I couldn't recall anything of what had happened to me… but I did remember seeing Rin's lifeless body on the ground and those yellow spores...

As my body slowly got to its feet, I began surveying my surroundings. It was dark and silent. However, everything seemed so… big now. And I never realized that I was closer to the ground before. That was when I realized… I had changed… in size. I took the moment to realize I was about Rin's height, my hair was now up to my shoulders, and my clothes were definitely bigger than I was, including my two swords.

"But… impossible-!" I gasped to myself. Even my voice sounded so child-like.

"Lord Sesshomaru!" Jakken's voice echoed from behind. His loud footsteps were now heading towards me and it seemed like he had no intention in stopping. "Where are you?" he continued yelling.

I stepped toward the center of the forest where I spotted Jakken waving his short arms around. His yellow eyes finally spotted me then he suddenly tripped over his own feet. His helpless body slid right in front of me as I folded my arms over my chest.

Jakken lifted his dirty head up and growled. "Move along, kid! I'm looking for someone!"

I cocked an eyebrow up. I grabbed his collar and lifted him up to my eye level. "Mind repeating that, Jakken?"

The demon gasped loudly. His big yellow eyes blinked a couple times before he finally realized the truth. "M…My… L-Lord? W-Whatever happened to you….?"

"Never mind that," I responded as I tried fitting my clothes around my shoulders. "Rin is just ahead. See to her for me."

Jakken nodded his head then scurried through the tell trees. My eyes narrowed as I allowed my clothes to slip off my small arm. The only explanation about my situation was… was from those yellow spores I saw earlier. Somehow… they managed to change my appearance into what I looked like when I was younger? It was so vague to me… but what else could I consider at the moment?

Just then, Jakken let out a loud groan. I managed to slip into my huge pants then quickly ran to where Jakken was. Through the trees, I spotted not only him… but a young woman wearing Rin's small outfit. The sight was unbelievable. Tears were streaming down the girl's smooth pale face as her eyes sudden caught mine. Her arms suddenly stretched out and wrapped themselves around my small body.

"L-Lord Sesshomaru! I…I'm not… me anymore…!"

A/N: End of chapter one! Whee! Such a fun chapter to write. (kooshes) …oh noes! Sesshomaru is small and Rin is big? And Jakken's… well… Jakken? What goes on here! Find out next chapter! I hope you liked this chapter and please tell me how you thought of it!
